El Capitan

Guys! Mahmud has had a superb match so far. Did good with the bat- added 40 odd priceless runs with the last 2 partnerships. Bowled exceedingly well, picked up his 2 wickets, and kepth things amazingly tight (look at his economy rate), and was spot with bowler rotations (or was it just lucky?!) and great field placings (or so I hear from the pundits :P). Basically, he took almost all the right decisions thus far in this test starting with the toss! Lets hope he has a lot more to show in the next two days and prop us up even further.

Well done sir!

I just hope the test lasts 2 more days. The rate at which we are going, it can finish up tomorrow.

Indeed he did well - but I think he still cannot hold a place on the team after this series. But he is a seasoned campaigner and there is always some fight in him.

REALITY:
This is a great opportunity for El Capitan to play a captain's knock and hold the bottom order together.

There is scant doubt that the M&Ms (Mashud and Mahmud) will take this opportunity to score their maiden centuries during the second innings of this test, and lead Bangladesh to rather predictable victory over the overmatched Pakistanis.

For underdog Pakistan, it was a sleepless night. With Bangladesh well positioned at 52/4, and the Double M attack of Mashud and Mahmud yet to come, Day 4 promised to be a long hard day chasing leather under the hot Peshawar sun.

Rafique Bhai:

Well said! You picked up on the Amitological loose ball and quickly dispatched it to the boundary for four ala Kowhsik!

Wow, Shujon's 5th test wicket. It's almost like everyone else played bad (masri = 0 wickets) only to make sure shujon was tops. He took the only wicket in the second innings.
